As a professional in the field of dementia health care, I feel this book should be "required reading" for all health care providers. It is an incredible, practical book written by the well known expert in the field of gerentology, Anne Robison-Kalter. Ms. Robinson-Kalter offers compassionate strategies for caretakers and families. It is easy to read and difficult to put down.

This book is just great in giving ideas on how to handle dementia patients with different difficult behaviors. A little more depth into how to handle delusional ideas that some patients get would be very helpful.

This book is widely used by professional caregivers providing dementia care in homes and nursing homes. It is a comprehensive and easy-to-use reference guide. We use this in the training of all of our caregivers at Tender Rose Home Care. However, you don't need to pay more than $18 for the book. Buy directly from the publisher at [...].
